About

This blog discusses a range of aspects of social change and social justice in the twenty-first century global world. What is possible? What is desirable? What are the key structural shortcomings of what exists? And how can better knowledge of social processes help?

The blog is aimed at scholars, students, and other professionals who share an interest in globalization and social justice. I hope that these topics will attract participants from Asia, Africa, North and South America, the Middle East, and Europe who are able to bring the perspectives of their societies into the discussion.

I am a philosopher of social science with a strong interest in China. You are welcome to visit my parallel blog on topics in the social sciences, UnderstandingSociety, which is linked in the blogroll.
